When the SysEx message type is selected, the Value 1 eld changes to include a sub-page key which
opens the QWERTY keyboard and allows the string to be entered in Hexadecimal format. When the string
is longer than the number of characters displayable in the VST eld, it is abbreviated with ‘…’ – see Fig
15-15.
Figure 15-15: SysEx Message Type.
CHANNEL encoder: Allows the MIDI ‘transmit’ channel for the currently selected Event Number to be set.
Value range is ‘No Device’, then OUT1:1-16 and OUT2:1-16, then ‘Global’, but the displayed value for
OUT1:1-16 and OUT2:1-16 is taken from the Device Name eld of the MIDI Devices LIST in the Main
Menu\MIDI page.
The Devices list allows MIDI Channels to be mapped to a text name for easier identication of the devices
being selected.
Note that where the Message Type being selected has a Device ID rather than a MIDI Channel (which will
be the case only if the MSG Type is set to MMC Locate, SysEx or Go to Cue – see next page) then the
Device ID will be displayed instead of the channel.
{FIRE} key: When pressed this transmits the displayed MIDI event for test purposes during equipment
setup. Only the currently-selected event from the list of 20 is transmitted.
SCROLL CUE LIST encoder: Allows the Cue list to be scrolled whilst the EDIT MIDI page is open, allowing
the Events Setup to be compared between Cues.
Default settings stored in current Show are (for each of the 20 Events):
On key = OFF
Channel = ‘No device’
Message Type= blank
Value 1&2 = blank
